Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter

Tips:

  • Prepare the Crust in Advance: You can make the pie crust dough up to 3 days ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. This will save you time on the day you want to make the quiche.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this quiche, but you can also use frozen spinach if necessary. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
  • Don't Overcook the Eggs: The quiche is done when the eggs are just set in the center. Overcooking will make the eggs rubbery.
  • Let the Quiche Cool Before Serving: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This green chile spinach quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and flavorful green chiles, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
